O'Dwyer loses to "R_uida lin"; Doubles Pärssinen

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 600 ante
Pärssinen vs O'Dwyer
Pärssinen vs O'Dwyer

Steve O'Dwyer took a big hit to the stack when he paid off a 127,500 bet by "R_uida lin" on the {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Spades}. His {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} was no good, as "R_uida lin" had flopped trips with {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

"R_uida lin" pulled in further pots and the misery for O'Dwyer continued in a three-bet pot against Eelis Pärssinen, as both invested 34,000 to the {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop. Pärssinen check-jammed for 174,021 and O'Dwyer called.

Eelis Pärssinen: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Steve O'Dwyer: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The {3-Spades} turn and {4-Diamonds} river secured a big double for Pärssinen.

The next preflop raising war saw two pocket pairs clash and it was Aleksejs Ponakovs who ended up as the player at risk.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Pablo Brito Silva: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Both suits were covered and there was no miracle on the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} board to sent Ponakovs to the rail.

Kelopuro snap-called with {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} and Astedt was left short with the {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

One hand later, he three-bet jammed for 33,191 on the button and Wiktor Malinowski isolated out of the small blind.

Niklas Astedt: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
